I have been tweaking this Web site for a year trying to speed up page loading times. Depending on the time of day, it takes up to 40 seconds just to load the front page. I thought it was my fault.
I thought the themes I was using in WordPress were just too large. I thought I was using too many plugins. The main reason I originally looked into transfering my photos to Flickr instead of hosting them all in this site was because the site was just really bogged down.
It would take 10 seconds on a good day to load each new page. At times the site was unreadable.
After re-installing a fresh copy of WordPress and switching down to the simpler default theme yesterday, the site didn’t run any faster. So I started to believe that the fault was in my Web host, Network Solutions.
Turns out I was right.
